<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Publius2, post: 8385003, member: 105571&quot;]I purchased this silver penny from a local coin shop last week and have been struggling to verify the seller&#039;s attribution.&nbsp; His attribution card is attached and when I asked him about it today, he said someone else had attributed it.</p><p><br /></p><p>The obverse legend matches up to that of Aethelred but the image does not match any regnal image I can find on Wildwinds for any ruler.</p><p><br /></p><p>The reverse legend does not seem to make sense to me at least when compared to the moneyer or the mint.&nbsp; Wildwinds does not list any EADWELD as a moneyer nor Canterbury as the mint for any Aethelred II coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>Is there another reference source available? Is Wildwinds known for not being complete?&nbsp; Sorry for what are probably newbie questions but this is my first foray into the Anglo-Saxon coinage.</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, I verified the weight on the card.</p><p><br /></p><p>And, one final question:&nbsp; Do the marks on the reverse around the cross look like test cuts to you.&nbsp; Under a stereo microscope at 10X and 30X they appear to have been caused by a chisel-like tool.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1488039[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1488040[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1488041[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
